Four Perfect Pebbles:
Chapter 1: After talking about this book a little during class, I was very interested to go home and start reading it. So far I have realized how easy of a read this book is. I was stressed out in the beginning of class with all of the books I have to read between both of my classes but this was such a relief. Several years ago I traveled to Austria with a group of students in an Ambassador program and we got to visit a Concentration Camp there. Being very young and it being over 8 years ago, a lot of the details are hard for me to remember but this book is helping me remember the feeling I had while I was there. It was a very empty feeling and a very dark place. Reading this chapter and previously visiting a camp, helped me put a picture with the book when the character was talking about the fences and the wood with holes that they used as toilets. I am very interested to read the rest of the book and to find out if she does find the fourth pebble.
To Understand:
Chapter 2: In this chapter, the author talks about three models that she has created to help her students and colleagues: Dimensions and Outcomes of Understanding, What's Essential for Literacy Learning, and Literacy Studio. This chapter had a lot of tables in it where it somewhat confused me so I am interested to talk about it in class tonight.
